The Office of Leadership Activities and the Student Government Association (SGA) work in collaboration to support the efforts of upwards of 100 registered student
clubs each year. Student Organizations contribute powerfully to the vibrant co-curricular
life of Skidmore College and represent an incredibly diverse array of community interests.
Leadership Activities advises student organizations, sets policy and distributes funds,
while the SGA provides much of the funding allocation and political representation
for these groups.
